The Life of Ka - zar

My great mate Spirit tagged me in the latest tag game going around catster that I think it was started by my great mate Zach.

"Who are you really?"

1) Tell me your funny Christmas story.

We were living in Malee and it in the middle of nowhere. Grandma had gone a brought a turkey breast for our christmas feast. She went to cook it and didn't realise it had to be thawed out first. So let's just say we had chirstmas rabbit that year. Just for something different.

2) Where's your favorite hiding place when playing hide and go seek?

I don't play hide and seek being an only furkid. Mind you if I don't want anyone to find me I go outside and burry myself in the middle of the bushes my humans always walk past me.

3) What did you dream of being as a young kit?

Being a shelter kitty all I wanted as a young kit was furever hom.

4) What's your favorite hobby? Anything goes.

Eating the more food the better and if it's human food that even better still.

5) Whats your one "bad habit" that you love and your Mom hates?

Running up and down the hallway in the middle of the night then jumping on the bed and on mum's head.

6) If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go?

There is no place I rather be than at home with all humans.

7) What is your guilty pleasure? Food, skirts and suits or cars? What?

I love to play with a pink stress ball.

8) What is your favorite make believe monster? And yes girls, unicorns and fairies are included. Post a pic of this mysterious beast.

I don't have one.

9) What is the one dreaded thing you have to do at home? Babysitting, taking baths, entertaining guests....what is your dread?

Having my claws clipped and going to the vets.

10) I’m not so sure if Zach and Zoe are going to have coed ships this year or not, but in any case, which ship would you want to be on: Zach’s, or Zoe’s?

Zach.

An update on my Grandpa

Grandpa has some fluid around the joint where they rejoined his bowel. The doctors have put him on a directrices to try and flush it out of his system. I'm happy to say this is working and he'll have another scan on Monday to see what process is being made.

I haven't updated mu diary on Grandpa's progress since he's had his surgery so I thought now was good time.

His recovery from the surgery is going well. He is eat soft solid meals and he's up and walking around with the nurse and cracking jokes. He even wants mum to bring him in a joke book tomorrow.

His lungs are still not right and the doctors are running some tests to find out why My Grandpa was pack a day smoker for a long time so we knew lungs weren't healthy. Mind you the doctors think he shouldn't still need oxygen.

He should get his biopsy results soon. They will put a post op treatment plan in place. We will deal with this as family as we always do just because we love him.

Can you please keep the purrs or whatever do going for my Grandpa since this is the first step in a long recovery.

I hope this find my mates and their families happy and healthy and I send purrs to those doing tough.

It has been a long and stressful day at our house today but I'm happy to say that my Grandpa's surgery went well.

He in the ICU for observation tonight but all went and he has no bag. He was awake and trying to crack jokes with the nurses went Grandma and uncle Grant left. He was still groggy but in good sprits.

Mum I stayed home and did phone patrol all day. It's not what happens that the killer it's not knowing at all. We got a call from Grandma at 5:30pm have you heard from the hospital Grandpa isn't back in ICU yet.

Mad panic set in when mum said no and then not much longer after that call uncle Grant called us back and told us that Grandpa was ok. Turns out he was in recovery longer than expected since they had trouble waking him up and mum reckons that figures for a lot.

Can you please continue the purrs the lesion they removed will now be biopsyed and we will get the results in the next couple days.

I want to thank all my mates for their support through all of this. It mates like you that make catster a great place.

Just wanted to let all my mates know that my Grandpa's surgery has been delayed a day. It will be happening on Wednesday 15th August in the afternoon. I will write in my diary when there's some news to write.

I want to thank all my mates that have been purring for my Grandpa and been a great support to Mum and I.

We got great news yesterday that Grandpa's surgery for his bowel cancer will be done on 14th August. It has to be delayed for two weeks as my Grandpa is on really strong blood thinners and he has to be off them for two weeks before they can operate.

Can you please join me in purring for him. He has gone on low dose aspirin so the operation can be done safely.

I want to thank my mates that have been asking about my Grandpa and purring for him.

I hope this finds my mate happy and healthy and I send my purrs to those doing it tough.

It nice to have something positive to write in my diary after all the stuff that's been going on with my Grandpa lately.

I firstly want to thank all my mates that purred and continue to purr for my Grandpa knowing you are all out there and that you care about me and my family means the world to me. There are too many to list here but you all know who you are and you are all really appreciated.

Mum checked her emails before and catster sent a email to tell us I'm a diary pick. I want to thank the diary chick for the honour. It nice to be picked as I don't write in my diary that often any more and the only things I've been writing about lately is my Grandpa and the big c.

I hope all my mates and their families are happy and healthy and I send purrs to those doing it tough.

My Grandpa went to see the surgeon today to get his test results. The good news is that the cancer hasn't spread. The lesion is a big bugger that is inside Grandpa's bowel they can cut it out that's not the worry it how they are going to cut it out that concern.

It is easier due to Grandpa other health problems if they can do keyhole surgery. Other wise it will be a full operation and either way they are going to remove some of Grandpa's bowel but that's not an issue because a human has 7 meters of bowel and the surgeon said he won't miss what they are going to cut out.

The surgery will be done in the next month. A date is yet to be set.

I want to thank everyone who purred for my Grandpa your love and support mean the world to me.

My Grandpa had his colonsopy and he has bowel cancer. Don't know any more at the moment as they are doing more test to determine the extend of the cancer. It's in his upper bowel and now they are doing test to find out if it has spread to other organs and what kind of cancer it is.

Please can you keep my Grandpa in your purrs. We will find out next Wednesday if the cancer has spread and when they will do the surgery that's required to remove it.

I know all I seem to writing about in my diary is asking for my mates to purr for my Grandpa lately but I need you to join me in purring for him once again.

My Grandpa as most of my mates know has been losing a pint of blood for quiet a while now. On Tuesday of next week he is going to have colonsopy done. They could find anything from something very minor to bowel cancer. Even if they find bowel cancer the doctor think it will be caught early.

We are all worried about him as the unknown is more worrying than knowing.

Can you please spare some purrs for my Grandpa. I hope my mates aren't sick of this request but we all love him dearly and the power of the paw has helped in the past.

I hope this find my mates and their families happy and healthy and I send my purrs to those doing it tough.

As most of my mates know yesterday was my 14th birthday and I just wanted to write a diary entry to thank all my mates that made the day great.

I didn't do all that much but it did warm up enough for me to go for a walk outside and that was special in itself as I haven't been out of the house for the last week or so since it been so cold.

Having mum home for most of the day was another great birthday present. She only went out for a little while to go out and buy me my birthday feast of roast chicken. Mum asked me what I wanted for my birthday and that was the top of my list. My humans don't eat roast chicken that much anymore so it really is a treat.

I also want to thank my mates that send rosettes and pawmails.

Cupcakes were sent by Pie, Sprirt and the cupcake king Tate.
